Ten minutes later, President Palmer answered Irving's video conference request. The president was in a meeting with senior officials. After being notified by his secretary, he interrupted the meeting and found a small conference room to confirm the matter with Irving. Jack was also present.
·Ball and General Etis by remote video.
"Owen, what do you think?"
"Your Excellency, I prefer Omega to take action. The military is a temporary reconnaissance mission at the request of Omega. Now that something has happened, it is not convenient for them to take action. Omega can sneak in, rescue the pilot in a secret identity and obtain photos at the same time.
…”
The president pondered for a long time and kept tapping his fingers on the table, seeming to be considering the gains and losses. He is a president that Irving agrees with more. He values life, fairness and justice, but he is also a politician. The way politicians and ordinary people think about problems is
The difference is that Irving is not sure what he will ultimately decide.
"Jack, what about you?"
President Palmer did not immediately express his position, but asked Jack's opinion.
"I agree with Owen's opinion. The pilots are still alive. They are likely to be captured by Serb armed forces. They may reveal more information to us at that time. Moreover, once the Serb armed forces capture the pilots, they will have a bargaining chip in their hands.
They can choose to tear up the agreement at any time without taking any responsibility..."
Owen cast a grateful look at Jack. If Omega ignores this time, he will definitely offend the people in the military. His relationship with the people in the army is average, but his relationship with the navy has always been good, regardless of intelligence, human lives, etc.
, Omega will definitely cooperate with the seals often in the future, and he does not want to offend the navy people.
"Edtis, is that what happened?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, the pilots have mastered many naval codes. Once captured, the consequences will be disastrous. Of course, the most ideal way is to have ground troops to assist them in leaving, but we are also prepared for the worst."
"What is it?"
Seeing the other three people looking at him, Eddies said a little apologetically: "If it is confirmed that the two pilots are abandoned, our submarine will directly launch missiles..."
General Etis did not finish what he said later, but everyone understood that launching missiles meant killing people and silencing them.
The president remained silent, and the sound of his fingers tapping on the table continued for a long time.
after a long time
"Okay, Owen, I agree with Omega's operation this time. You sneaked in to rescue the pilot and obtain the photos, but I must emphasize two points..."
President Palmer stretched out a finger and said solemnly: "First, if something cannot be done, you must ensure that the pilot will not reveal our secrets..."
Owen nodded. He understood what President Palmer meant. The so-called guarantee that the pilot would not reveal secrets was to kill people and silence them.
Seeing Owen's agreement, President Palmer raised a second finger: "Second, your mission will not have any support, and the official will not recognize it. Once you are captured by the other side, you know, everything can only be done
Rely on yourselves..."
Owen nodded again. This is the same for almost all agents and troops who go abroad to perform missions.
At the end of the meeting, the president took Jack to leave first. They still had the previous meeting to hold. Before leaving, Jack said to Owen: "Irving, I will ask the intelligence office to report the weather, troop divisions, and weather conditions in the target area in the past 48 hours."
All information will be pushed to you, please be careful..."
Irving nodded yes, the president and Jack left, and General Etis also expressed his offer of all help on the other end of the video.
…
At night, a military plane shuttled through high-altitude clouds under the cover of night, and its destination was the crash site. Members of the Omega main team were sitting in the cabin wearing masks, and most of them were recuperating behind closed doors.
Only Fred had his eyes open, as if he wanted to find someone to chat with, but no one paid any attention to him.
The crash site recorded by the Carl Vinson is still some distance from the coastline, so diving from the seaside is not suitable. This time Omega chose to airborne, and they planned to enter the target area by jumping high and driving low.
In the military, jumping high and flying low is a MFF military free airborne method commonly used by special forces to perform surprise reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines. In order to avoid the threat of ground radar and missiles, Omega will carry equipment and jump out of the cabin from an altitude of 15,000 feet.
After descending to an altitude of 100-150 meters close to the target area, the parachute is opened.
At this time, the plane was flying smoothly at an altitude of 15,000 feet. All Omega members were wearing oxygen masks to remove nitrogen from the body. Otherwise, there is a high risk of loss of consciousness due to insufficient oxygen supply after leaving the cabin at high altitude.
During the flight, the intelligence from the intelligence studio and the Carl Vinson was still coming together bit by bit, and bad news kept coming. The pilot died, he had an accident when he landed, and when the navigator found him
His neck was twisted at a strange angle. The navigator used the radio to call the Carl Vinson, but then the communication was interrupted. The signal seemed to be interfered. The last words he left were---The men of war criminals are on the way.
Surround him.
"Arrived in the designated airspace in 60 seconds..."
The pilot's announcement sounded in the cabin, and the Omega members opened their eyes again, checked their equipment one last time, and then lined up in the cabin.
"One last reminder, open the parachute at 150 meters and gather at the weapons after landing."
Irving stood at the hatch and reminded the team members for the last time, especially Bayev and Fred, that although they both knew how to skydive, they had never practiced together.
Everyone nodded, the red indicator light came on, and the plane arrived in the designated airspace.
"It's snowing outside, I wish you all the best..."
The driver's final blessing came through the headset. Owen opened the cabin door, and the strong wind blew in with snow flakes.
Owen made a thumbs-up gesture, and the ghost pushed the weapon box in front of him. The weapon box fell freely, and then the ghost jumped out, followed by Swag, Fred, Heartbeat, Bayev, and Owen.
He is the last one. Usually when skydiving, the captain is the last one to jump.
Because it is an infiltration operation behind enemy lines, they must carry enough weapons and equipment, so halo with heavy load will pack the weapons and equipment into separate boxes and rely on GPS to retrieve them after reaching the ground.
The strong wind was raging around the body, the surrounding temperature dropped extremely, and the sky showed a slight dawn. Owen quickly fell from a high altitude. The mask provided enough oxygen. As the altitude dropped, the snowflakes falling outside could be seen through the mask.
Irving controls his body and uses wind resistance to control his speed.
Although dawn has appeared in the sky, it is still dark below. You can't see anything with your eyes. All skydiving members can only use the altimeter to determine their position.
